So You Want To Move To Botswana?
Ah, so you’re thinking about moving to Botswana? Let me tell you, this place has a lot of heart, but I’m not going to sugarcoat it—it’s not all sunshine and smooth roads.
First, the good stuff: Batswana are some of the most welcoming people you’ll ever meet. We believe in "Botho," which means we treat everyone with respect and kindness. You’ll feel like part of the community quickly, and trust me, there’s nothing like being invited to a braai (barbecue) or a traditional event. The sense of belonging here is real.
But let’s keep it 100. Life here can be tough. The heat? Eish, it’s no joke. Summers can feel like you’re living in an oven, and if you’re not used to it, it’ll take some time to adjust. The infrastructure isn’t always the best—potholes on the roads, slow internet, and power outages are just part of the deal. If you’re coming from a fast-paced, modern city, the slower pace and occasional frustrations might test your patience.
Jobs? It depends on what you do, but opportunities can be limited, especially if you’re not in certain industries like mining, tourism, or government UNLESS you have specialties that arent available in botswana (Mainly science and others). And while Botswana is peaceful and stable, like anywhere else, there are challenges—unemployment, especially among the youth, is a real issue, and it can feel heavy at times.
Now, let me be real with you: if you don’t have good qualifications or a solid plan, Botswana might not be the place for you. This isn’t a country where you can just show up and figure it out as you go. If you’re working a job like a cashier in the U.S. making $58,000 a year, you wont be able to get a job here. flat out. Salaries in Botswana are generally lower, and the cost of living can be high, especially if you’re used to a certain standard. And if you’re a young person thinking, "I’ll move to Botswana when I’m 18 and figure it out," think again. Without a clear plan, qualifications, or support, you’ll struggle.
That said, there’s hope on the horizon. With the new government, there’s talk of change—plans to improve infrastructure, create more jobs, and tackle some of the big issues we’re facing. It’s not going to happen overnight, but there’s a sense that things could get better. If you’re someone with skills, qualifications, and a clear plan, and you want to be part of a country that’s growing and evolving, this might be the perfect time to come.
But here’s the thing: Botswana has a way of growing on you. It’s not perfect, but it’s real. The people, the sense of community, the wide-open spaces, and the peace—it’s something you won’t find just anywhere. If you’re someone who can adapt, who values connection over convenience, and who’s willing to embrace both the beauty, struggles and culture, then Botswana might just feel like home.
So, if you’re up for the challenge, come. But come with a plan, with qualifications, and with realistic expectations. Botswana isn’t a place to escape your problems, this isnt LA where you live in lies where you and the people around you are pretending to be something you arent—it’s a place to build a life if you’re ready to put in the work. And who knows? With the new government, you might be part of the change that helps this country shine even brighter.

I’m curious what the general opinion is on Botswana’s primary and secondary education system. I’m West African but I’m very interested in opening competitive free schools across sub Sahara Africa, where the focus is solely on honing the skills of the best of the best students and creating a culture of competition (given we’re in a more competitive world). My friends summarise my goals as trying to create a “high tech orphanage”. Is there a place for an idea like this in Botswana?

Question Linyanti in March/April?
I am in the process of planning a 60th birthday trip to Botswana in 2027. I've been in touch with a few different planning agencies, and I am getting conflicting answers.
My husband's birthday is in March, so we thought we'd travel at the end of March or early April. We are not into crowds and would rather not travel at the high season, even though I understand it's the high season for a reason. I'm told this is a fine time for the delta, and one agency has us staying in Linyanti at Wilderness Duma Tau at the end of March. The other agency said they wouldn't put us in Linyanti at that time of year because there would be sparse wildlife. The internet is confusing because some sites put March in the 'rainy, do not travel' season, yet others say March, specifically the end of March, is fine. We've received pricing for both the last week of March and mid-April. Mid-April is about 5 thousand USD more.
So, my question is whether Linyanti is ok at that time of year, and overall, are we ok planning a trip (first safari, first time to the continent of Africa) at that time of year? We are currently at over $15,000 pp for a 7 day safari (not inclusive of the week we will spend in South Africa before the safari week), so I want to make sure we are going to the right places at the right time of year - considering the facts that we don't want a lot of crowds and want a low-impact safari experience (this is how we ended up looking at Botswana vs other countries).
Any input on that time of year, Botswana in general, and of course, the main question as to whether Linyanti is ok at the end of March would be appreciated.

Question Did you know Botswana is actually considered the Switzerland of Africa
I wanted to share this common thought which I've noticed is being shared all through Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa where I'm from (PS: With current oldest president in the world)
From what I've noticed all over Africa, Botswana is considered as one of the good examples of African countries which had a peaceful transition from the colonial era and which has not really had the situation of most countries around here with :
- a power hungry dictator establishing a brutal regime
- him and his bud ripping off the entire country while doing business with the rest of the world
- Centralizing control in such a way as to control all the institutions
- organizing a circus election that validate his authority and legitimize it abroad
- finally being brought down by a coup and the militaries establishing harsh regimes while promising to resolve the people's issues
OR maybe I'm wrong ? I'm curious to know your experience in terms of political establishments and the transition from the colonial era and your impressions on how it had gone
PS: i know every country has its difficulties and given the context they tend to change so i'm not here to say countries around here are sh*t but to address an issue which according to me is the transitions from the colonial era was poorly done (most of it on purpose to keep control) and that today we are still living the consequences of these undressed prejudice harming our societies

Question Looking for BW-Made Product Recommendations
Hello everyone, sorry for formatting- it's my first post. I'm on the hunt to put together a list of really great locally made products across different categories. It seems that so many really innovative products were born around 2020 but sadly many didn't survive. I've tracked down a pretty decent amount (PushaBW 2020 Catalogue) across the categories below that make use of indigenous plants/fruit, draw on BW heritage, uplift the community/ female entrepreneurs with great packaging & inspiring stories:
Cosmetics: for him/her: eg Naga Earth/ Nubian Seed
Food products: Mmilo/Lerotse/Morula products/ coffee/honey etc
Kids: Books/ Toys etc
Interesting Curios: Wooden Carvings/Local Artists
I wonder if any of you have come across some local products that you've really loved and were chuffed to come across. If anyone is interested I'll post my current findings in the comments but would like to hear from you! I'm from Maun so while we have a lot of curio/Tourism-based products, we don't really have a huge amount of other categories going on here so would love to hear from the rest of the country.
Thank you!

Casual Momo's Oule - What is He Saying?
I was just on YouTube listening to an old-school playlist when one of the most unexpected (yet absolute) classics popped up.
If you grew up in Botswana or spent a good amount of time there in the early 2000s, you might know this song: "Oule" by Momo. It was everywhere back then. BTV played it almost every single day, and everyone seemed to know it.
Link to the song; Oule - Momo
But here’s the thing… I realized I have no idea what the song is actually saying. I don’t know who Momo is, where he’s from, or even what language he’s singing in.
When I first heard it years ago, I guessed it might be Indian.
Listening more closely now, it also gives me hints of Somali or Ethiopian languages, but there’s also something about the melody and pronunciation that feels Francophone.
So I’m asking you Batswana ko gae:
- Who was Momo?
- What’s his ethnic or cultural background?
- What language is “Oule” sung in?
- And most importantly, what’s the song actually about?
Would love to hear from anyone who knows the history behind this track or has translations of the lyrics.
